The entire Hou Mansion is simpler than Meng Yunxian imagined.
There are no splendid halls and corridors, nor are there warm and fragrant boudoirs filled with gold foil and silverware. Even the rockery in the backyard is quite satisfactory, with no rugged appearance at all. It is actually just a few stones piled up with lacquer mud.
But from the inside to the outside, you can see flower beds and green plants everywhere. They are very carefully trimmed and look like they have been carefully designed, giving them a unique and elegant flavor. In addition, she also saw several medicinal fields and vegetable fields, and she didn't know who in the house planted them.
The place where Meng Yunxian lives is a small courtyard surrounded by three hollowed-out small courtyard walls. The entrance is a moon gate with a black background and a gold plaque with the four words "Breeze is shining" on it.
The courtyard is so small that you can see it at a glance. Green vines climb all the way along the courtyard wall, almost filling the hollow space on the wall. Passing through the moon door and walking around the circular flowerbed in the middle of the small courtyard was her room. There are small wing rooms on both sides of the main house, which are allocated to the personal maids and nuns in strict accordance with the rules of the house.
After Nanny Song came back, she prepared hot water for Meng Yunxian to take a bath and change clothes. After all, when the Marquis returned home, he should see a clean and beautiful daughter. Unexpectedly, Xianglian went out for a while and came back angrily.
"It's just too much!"
This sound caused Meng Yunxian and Aunt Song, who were combing their hair, to look sideways.
Xiang Lian felt that her worries had come true.
Just now she went to the kitchen to ask for hot water, but no one paid any attention to her. She said it was the second lady who asked for the water. Unexpectedly, the steward of the kitchen actually said that the hot water in the house was prepared according to the hour, and there was a fire at Yinshi and a curfew at Xu. , if you want hot water, it is only available in Yin Shizhong and Youshimo. These are clearly written in the family rules, and they dare not violate the rules that the housekeeper has repeatedly ordered.
Xiang Lian was angry and timid, and whispered that they were unreasonable. Did the old lady and Madam Hou really want hot water to make tea and cleanse their noodles? Do they also want the ladies to wait until Yin Shixu?
These people even more arrogantly laughed at her ignorance - the Marquis, the old lady, the prince and even the third lady all have their own small kitchens in the yard. On weekdays, as long as between Yin Shi and Xu Shi, they can light a fire to boil water and make tea. The only difference is that the pots in the big kitchen of the Hou Mansion are very big and can cook more at one time than in the small kitchens of the masters. Therefore, the hot water in the big kitchen is usually used for bathing and shampooing. If you use a small amount of hot water, you can cook it in the yard by yourself. It can be solved within a few days, and the masters' maids are too lazy to make this trip.
" What Xiang Lian said was tantamount to humiliating herself. It made it clear that the second young lady who had just entered the house was placed in a courtyard without a small kitchen, so of course she could only follow the time rules of the big kitchen.
"Second Miss, these people are just bullying us because we just entered the mansion. You can't let them bully you." Xiang Lian also wanted to save this second young lady who seemed to have no fighting spirit.
Mother Song stood behind Meng Yunxian, frowning and thinking of something.
The second young lady has just entered the house, her status is not pleasing to the eye, and the people in the house seem to respect the Tian family very much. If they start a fight at this time, it will be detrimental to the second young lady no matter what. If the second young lady wants to gain a stable foothold in the Hou Mansion, the only way out is to change the attitude and opinions of everyone in the Hou Mansion towards her. Judging from today's situation, the easiest way is to let Madam Hou accept her completely. Capture the thief first and capture the king. After capturing Madam Hou, others will not be afraid at all.
Meng Yunxian took a hair tie, tied her long hair behind her back, and stood up with a smile: "It doesn't matter if you don't take a shower now."
Mother Song said earnestly: "Second Miss, this is not a matter of whether you should take a bath or not."
Meng Yunxian said seriously: "Do I still need to wash my hair?"
Xiang Lian was furious at this stupid second lady: "Second lady, you are the young lady of the Hou Mansion, the master. Today is your first day back to the mansion and they dare to be so blatantly negligent. Wouldn't it be even more arrogant in the days to come? .¡±
Meng Yunxian's response was to look down at herself.
She was not dirty either. Her clothes were the embroidered jacket and skirt that Li Huxin bought. She sat in the carriage along the way and was not stained by a speck of dust.
She raised her head and smiled: "It doesn't matter if you don't take a shower. Since the government has rules, we can just get hot water when the time comes."
Xiang Lian was suffocating in her heart. When she raised her head, she saw the warning look in Nanny Song's eyes. She felt blessed and went out to clean up her and Nanny Song's two rooms.
At this moment, Li Hu came over and brought a new bathtub and two large buckets of hot water.
Xiang Lian came over excitedly to report. She looked at Li Hu as if she were looking at her benefactor: "Young housekeeper is reallyCome on! Isn't this just jelly made from leftover soup? It's simply food that can't be eaten in the hall, and I don't know if it's poisoned. Nanny Zhang was about to persuade Madam to pour the stuff, but the next moment she saw Madam holding a small porcelain spoon and scooping up a spoonful, as if she was struck by lightning.
"Madam!"
"Drink, you can't drink!" If you want to drink it, you have to take a poison test!
Tian Shi drank it without hesitation.
Meng Yunxian glanced secretly, enduring the pain of reluctance.
This year¡¯s soup jelly, Brother Zhou Ke only helped make these few, and after drinking it, there was really nothing left. But there is no other way. At this critical moment, I can only give up Tang Dongzi to save my reputation.
Tian just took a brief sip, and was stunned. She drank several more sips one after another. Nanny Zhang looked worried and stopped her in a hurry: "Okay, okay, Madam, please drink slowly."
Even if you are really poisoned, you still need to control the amount of poison!
In just a short while, Tian had already drank half a cup. The lingering fragrance in his mouth had a special taste. Just as Meng Yunxian said, after drinking it, his whole body felt warm and very comfortable. The key is that there is The effect of filling your stomach.
only¡¡
She looked at the remaining half cup of soup jelly - it was not jelly made from leftover soup. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
